NOTD: Chanel Mimosa

Mimosa needs 2 coats to be fully opaque and has a pearlescent finish. It's a bit brighter on the nail than in the bottle.


This limited edition shade is not my color. The lime-green undertones do not compliment my skin tone very well. It looks better in pictures, but IRL it's not the best yellow for me. It would definitely go better with pale skin tones.






It's too bad this color doesn't work for me, I was coveting it so bad! 


Products Used:
Chanel- Mimosa.

NOTD: Kate Spade Nail Polish Swatches

 During the Kate Spade flash sale, I managed to get my hands on their travel nail polish set for $12.00 {reduced from $28)! There are four- 6.5 ml bottles with names taken from Florence Broadhurst's signature patterns.

Unfortunately, all of the polishes except for the pink one require very careful application. The pink took 2 easy coats to be nice and even, the rest took 3+ coats for full opacity {with minor bald spots}. The bottle is tiny and so is the brush, this makes it a bit more difficult to work with but not impossible.

Kate Spade- Seafoam Swirls
{I don't usually have a hard time pulling off bright nail polishes, but I felt like both this green one and the red-orange were just not meant for my skin tone}

Kate Spade- Orange Solar 
{Although the name implies orange, this is definitely more of a red polish with orange undertones.}

Kate Spade- Watermelon Fingers 
{My favorite out of the four- the consistency is somewhere in between a jelly and a creme.}

Kate Spade- Yellow Cockatoos 
{This one is more of a mustard yellow, a bit darker and less bright than a true yellow}

Tiny bottle, tiny brush.

Overall, not what I was expecting in quality... but I'm glad I was able to grab these while I still had the chance {if only for collection purposes}.

NOTD: Summer Ombré


We have had extreme weather here in SoCal. This manicure expresses exactly how I feel... HOT :( 

I cannot wait for Fall & Winter, my favorite time of year!




I'm sad to say this manicure didn't last long... it made me feel even hotter than 100˚ weather!
